WHERE PROHIBITION PROHIBITS

WHERE PROHIBITION PROHIBITS
Athens, Ga, Nov. 2l.-At this time, when
there is so much interest manifest ed in the
fight which is being waged in Atlanta be-
tween the advocates of prohibition and its
opponents, it may not prove uniuterest in g
to call attention to the operation of tho law
in this city, where strjc. prohibitory aw
has been in force for several years.
Athens is city almost as largo as Co.
lnmbia, aud claims population Of 10000
souls and per capita wealth greater than
any other Southern city. Prohibition has
proved signal success aud an almost uu-
mixed blessing to this thriving community.
When the question was first agitated and
the matter under discussion, the usual plea
was made that the business interests would
suffer, that the trade of the town would
be ruined, and that there would be an atten-
dant train Of evils far greater than the curse
of the gilded saloon. Not such, however, has
been its effects. The unfolding of time has
utterly disproved these dire preditions The
trade ofthe place has steadily increased,
until this year it is confidently expected
that the cotton receipts will amount to an
hundred thousand bales; and of course all
branches of trade will and does keep pace
with the development Of the cotton bust
ness.
The bene6cent results of the working of
this law is most marked among the labor
ing cla,ses. A member of prominent firm,
doing large business on the. instalment
plan with this class Of bread winners, in-
formed me that the immediate effect of
prohibition on their business was to increase
their monthly receipts from the same source
100 per cent. Does not this speak vol
umes?
The law is effective, but it is not claim
ed that liquor cannot be obtained. Doubt
less those who want it very badly can find
some means of getting it, but most likely it
is very risky business sellingsis in the
town. ~
But the great point gained is that the in
ducements, the ,allurcmcn,s, invitations to
drink, have been removed. There is no
manner of doubt that1hcrc is far less liquor
sce1pumed than before tho era of probibi-
ssls1. sssssa,ssI
jaw. that tse matter is looked upon as ard
ddjudicata for oil time and hos ceased to be
theme for argument. II. t.

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

COLUMBIA, S. c., November 22.-The
Governors message, sent in to-day, first
takes up the State debt, which he states in
the aggregate amounts to $4,000, 900, of
which S277 600 is estimated as valid bonds
issued between 1868 aud 1872 and ante
bellum bonds not consolidated under the
Act 1873. There is every reason to believe
that large portion of these have been de-
stroycd aud that the State will never be
called upon to redeem them.
The Governor regards the recommends
tion Of the Comptroller that limit be put
on the time when these bonds may be ex-
changeu as wise and commends it to the
consideration of the Legislature, as the
whole State debt must be readjusted in
1898, the date of its maturity.
THE SINKING FUND COMMISSIONS WORK.
The sinking fund commission during the
year has purchased aud cancelled S32 sly.

amount. There is now outstanding S42O,
23S of deficiency bonds aud stock which
will come due July l, 1888, for which pro-
vision must be made this session, $4,000

sand to be met.
To provide for the payment ofthesc it is
recommended that authority be given the
Governor and such Others as may be desig-
mated to give notice, through the papers of
the principal money markets of the world,
that South Car lima desires to issue bonds
for this sum, and ask for proposals for loan
to be secured by the State, in all respects
similar 70 the Brown consol bonds, except
in rate of interest aud dato of maturity.
There is no reason, he says, why the loan
should not bo taken at four or four and one
half per cent
COMING RELIEP FOR TAXPAYERS.
This adjustment would immediately effect
a saving ofSS,000 ia the interest account,
and would be but foretaste Of the relief tax
payers will feel wheo the whole State debt
is refunded in IL manner in 1893. II
by maintaining the credit Of tho State by
promptly meeting her liabilities we succeed
in ultimately pl,cing the entire debt at 4
per cent, the annual budget will show q
decrease interest charges Of 100000.
| FORFEITED LANDS.
| Regarding forfeited lands the Governor
says the burdens of taxation should fal
equally on oil, but regrets that such is not
the case in South C,rolina. AS is seen BY
reference to the list, the lands forfeited fol
non-payment of taxes at the END Of the
fiscal year 1886 were 954,2 acres; the
forfeited land list during The year endine
October 81, 1887, shows ne~ forfeiture.

2S2 acres, and though 1929 acres were
sold or redeemed and 94 13l were stricken
off as erroneous entries during the pas
year, there still remains q net acreage O
Ola 1853. Though Shis is apparently a dc
crease of 39, 1888, it is not due to taxes be
ing more promptly paid; but to the activi

/ Six HUNDRED MILES or ,FIRE-Memphis
November 2ls->Fire at Covington, Tennessee,
early this morning, burned E. E. Smiths fam
lily grocery store, Lcathcrwood & Turner's
general grocery store in rear Of which was To-
Gated the pOsiofice and G. W. Smiths law Office.
The looses were partially Insured. Forest fres
continue to rage in this section, and the dam
age sustained is becoming serious. Several GIN
houses in Critteudon County, Ark, have been
burned, also in the counties of Mississipp pi
which borders the river. Il was impossible
to gather the definite details Of loss. II Is so
widespread in its nature that estimates cannot
bo given. Steamers cannot run at night owing
10 the dense smoke that prevails from vick-
burg, Miss, 70 point 100 miles aaoss b1sms
phis. total distance OF $50 miles. Fires are
burning everywhere within this territory, and
there is no immediate prospect of rain. Travel
by rail is also obstruced from these causes.
Several trestles on the Kansas City rond have
been destroyed, and communication with st.
Louis is now made via Fores, City, Ark. New
er before in the history of the country has
there been such widespread confiagration, aud
the loss to farmers will be very heavy. A wind
storm, which prevailed on Saturday. and Sat-
urday night, must have been destructive to
many dwellings and ou,houses of planterc, es.
pecially in counties to the West of Memphis, in
Arkansas. but owing to the secluded country
and lack Of teiegraphic facilities it will be sew
eral days before the true 9sndi,ion of affairs is
learned. The same reports come from every
quarter Of fires and the loss that is being sus-
tanned. The only escape tha, is promised will
come from rain, and in nearly oil the churches
prayers were offered yesterday that showers
might fall and destruction cease.
